Avinash Gangu - PeerSpot reviewer
Centralizing database tables enhances workflow efficiency for ease of use
I was looking for some content as part of a comparison analysis. However, one of the pain points is that it is way too free-flowing. I have to skim through all the security pages to get to the crux of it. I was looking for a table that suggests which facets such services address with proofs of reference from professional conferences. The document is a 63-page read, making it very difficult to navigate without a summary. I was looking for a summary at the start, however, if I have to do it myself, I might as well integrate from AWS Docs and then Informative Exchange. The current document contains a lot of information, which is great, but there needs to be a summary indicating the story's essence. Unless there's a correction, it is not present in the document.
Vijay Subramanyam - PeerSpot reviewer
Robust, reliable, and stable, ensuring high availability for critical integrations
I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten; it is a highly scalable solution. We have around 200 end users using this solution in our company. We use it to its maximum capacity. However, it's not for P1 applications, but definitely for severity two cases (P2 level). It integrates critical applications, but it's not a platform that, if it stops, the entire system would come down. So, it's more like a severity two level. However, it has the potential to eventually become a P1 platform. Not exactly P1 applications, but a P1 platform. Because now we are still in the transition to migrate everything, all the integrations to Mule Anypoint Platform. But once it's done, then this platform becomes critical. Because even now, we have point-to-point connections.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's pretty useful when we need to migrate something big from a different type of database that AWS Data Migration Services supports."
"We particularly like that this solution has the facility to integrate with all ETL tools."
"As the solution is on the cloud, we don't have to worry about the maintenance of software."
"What I like about AWS Database Migration Service is that it's a good product that allows you to migrate terabytes of data. My team was able to migrate almost 16TB of data using AWS Database Migration Service. The solution works fine for my use case."
"The installation is easy."
"Scalable and stable solution for migrating databases to AWS, with valuable features such as parallel full load and continuous data replication."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to get all the changes in our data and store that in an S3 bucket."
"The solution is very scalable with solid performance and the capability of extending it using any custom Java in case you don't have anything out of the box. MDP is strong. It is good compared to other products regarding its capabilities in managing or orchestrating the issue load."
"The API toolkit is the solution's most valuable aspect at this time, for our organization."
"We are very satisfied with the DevOps support."
"Customers can make use of Runtime Fabric, an RTF environment."
"The use of ACK is valuable."
"This is a good platform for designing, flowing out APIs, and then doing API-based integrations."
"I have found several things most valuable, including its very quick implementation that you can use a lot of out of the box templates, and lastly that it is a very mature product, especially in hybrid integration."
"The most valuable feature is the full lifecycle management, including Anypoint Designer and Exchange, as well as Discofolio API."
 

Cons

"As a solution, the better thing is if more platforms come with direct compatibility, like connecting to different data sources. The basic problem I faced the most was while transferring and reading data from Excel. So, one time, I found that all the components I had declared in my scripts were able to take it. And after some patching happens, it is not able to support that. Again, we need to update the version of Excel. So, it's not like a plug-in type place where you have done the solution and are confident that it will work. So, this is an area of improvement."
"What needs improvement in AWS Database Migration Service is that it lacks a log file validation feature. If the solution could provide more details about a particular transaction, that would be helpful. The stability of AWS Database Migration Service for online CDC records also needs to be improved."
"I think that Amazon needs to improve the migration scenarios after analytics"
"The names of the services need improvement since AWS doesn't indicate what the function of the product is presently. You need to read a lot to find the service that you want in the product."
"Migrating from here and pushing the data from on-premise to AWS cloud is a big challenge and a few more services from AWS would be helpful. For example, we are currently using ILDB internet tools which move data from on-premise to the AWS cloud. A few more services would be really helpful for me to move the master data."
"There could be enhancements in the product intelligently covering more scenarios to prevent crashes or failures."
"This solution is compatible with only AWS."
"AWS Database Migration Service can become complex when testing. Other solutions, such as Microsoft Azure makes it easy to do. There are more steps to complete tasks in AWS Database Migration Service than in Microsoft Azure."
"The customer service is not good enough"
"The compatibility with vendors can be improved. Microsoft Azure heavily uses single software."
"The solution's licensing model is expensive and could be improved."
"One area we'd like to see improvement in is the error logging and troubleshooting process."
"It would be better if we had a clearer view of the solution's future releases."
"When we are integrating with other applications, readily available connectors make it easy. However, when it comes to external applications, connectivity isn't as straightforward."
"It should give better control over account management."
"Technical support needs to be improved, especially when you need help with more technical aspects of the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cost is the only factor that is challenging."
"AWS Database Migration Service is the least expensive solution, but is still expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"Pricing can be improved."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"The pricing can be better and it should be more competitive."
"The pricing is per hour, though I do not have the exact figures. If you have specific questions about the service, a personal support team from Amazon is available, but this will bring in additional costs."
"In terms of pricing, I'd rate it an eight out of ten, considering it's a well-priced solution."
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced."
"The solution has a high price."
"The product is still very expensive."
"The licensing is core-based. My customers tell me that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites."
"The solution is the priciest in the market which is an issue for some clients."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."
"The tool's pricing is cheaper than other RPAs' since it is execution-based. Other RPAs charge based on subscriptions."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is affordable."
